What to do with Santa...

Every year, I get a chocolate Santa Claus in my stocking. I don't doubt that it's nice chocolate. In fact, I know it's nice chocolate because we, Konitzers, are chocolate snobs. I also understand the appeal of the chocolate Santa...festive, sweet, and bulky for the stalking. My chocolate Santa, however, almost always goes to waste. This year, I've decided to find a use for Mr. Santa.

Chocolate Santa Walnut Cookies
1 chocolate Santa Claus (or Easter bunny)
Graham Crackers, broken into smaller squares
Chopped walnuts


Melt chocolate pieces in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring in 20-second intervals, until smooth.


Dip squares of graham cracker in the chocolate and lay them to dry on wax paper or a baking mat. Before chocolate dries, sprinkle with walnuts. Let cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow chocolate to set.
